Medicare Confusion at Age 57https://www.msworld.org/forum/showthread.php?145820-Medicare-Confusion-at-Age-57&goto=newpost

I will be eligible for Medicare effective Oct 1 2019 and I am so confused. I saw a SHIIP advisor on Monday and thought I understood until I started contacting insurance companies. It seems no company offers plan G under Medicare Part C if you're under 65. And then because of my MS the cost for Rx is crazy. That's another whole subject because I can't get assistance until I find an Rx plan. Those plans are off the chain expensive because of my Gilenya and a couple of other high tier meds.

Can anyone offer some form of direction on how this works. Regular medicare vs Medicare Advantage Plans. I have been paying COBRA for the past two years and I just don't understand which would be an advantage for me since I am dealing with not only MS but other health issues as well. As most of us know, MS brings on a host of other complications. I don't really want a high deductible since I have so many doctors as well as a couple of necessary in office procedures a year.

I am under stress from this ordeal of trying to figure out supplemental or Advantage coverage. Any direction or input would be appreciated. My brain is spinning.:confused:

I am struggling so greatly at work itís really becoming a serious issue. I am considering looking into STD as I really cannot keep this up any longer. My problem is I am supposed to be HR and I try to read this info on my std program and I really donít understand it at all.
I am supposed to have these answers for my employees and I canít even find them for myself ! Iím so frustrated.
I started with a CIS in 2001 which was never treated. Many years later, a dx of Fibromyalgia, migraine, anxiety, etc... , and I finally find a neurologist to do proper testing. At this point I am not in a relapse but my symptoms are not intermittent anymore. And the cognitive function is my biggest concern.

I donít really know who to talk to. Iím supposed to have the answers on benefits ... Iím afraid to call the insurance company and ask for help cause I donít want my boss knowing just how bad Iím getting.
I only recently started this job in April. I left my last position in HR / Accounting looking for change. I really thought I was just bored or stressed or something and that was what was causing some of my thinking problems, but thatís so not the case. Since starting here itís all gotten worse. I canít understand much of the new information Iím given. I canít figure out the new stupid software. I have always been smart and Iím just lost now.

I realize now I was just barely hanging on at my last job.. I had used all my sick days by April 1st plus some vacation days for sick days ... I really thought I was just burned out but no. Iím just not functioning well anymore. And I donít know what to do. If Iím not at work Iím resting to go back to work. Literally there is no time for social or fun and absolutely no energy or focus to do things like that. I donít even know what to say.
ok this was a rant. But any advice would be helpful.
